About Melanotan 1 Acetate (MT-1) 10mg
Melanotan I (MT-1) 10mg
Melanotan I (MT-1) is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH), one of the compounds studied in melanocortin research. This listing supplies the 10mg lyophilized vial for laboratory research use. Every batch is tested to at least 98% purity by HPLC with a certificate of analysis (COA), is USA-made and third-party verified. For research use only; not for human or veterinary use or consumption.
Mechanism of Action
Melanotan I (afamelanotide) is a synthetic alpha-MSH analog studied in melanocortin-receptor research. In in-vitro and animal-model systems it is used as a tool compound to study melanocortin-1-receptor (MC1R) and melanogenesis signalling. This describes a research mechanism only.
Preclinical Research
Melanotan I has been examined in in-vitro and animal-model research on MC1R and melanogenesis signalling pathways. All referenced work is preclinical and mechanistic; no human data or outcomes are implied.
Research Applications
Typical research applications include melanocortin-receptor signalling studies. Browse the full melanocortin research range.
Protocol & Handling
This is a lyophilized (freeze-dried) vial. Reconstitute in the laboratory before study using a suitable diluent such as bacteriostatic water. Store the sealed vial frozen; keep reconstituted material refrigerated and protected from light. Handle only in a controlled laboratory setting. For research use only, not for human or veterinary use or consumption.
